If an employee doesnât make enough in tips during a given workweek to earn at least the applicable minimum wage for each hour worked, the employer has to pay the difference. Florida law allows employers to claim a tip credit of $3.02 an hour. This means Florida employers may pay tipped employees as little as $5.23 an hour in 2018. However, if this lower minimum wage plus the tips the employee actually earns donât add up to at least the full state minimum wage, the employer must make up the difference.
The muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus), the only species in genus Ondatra and tribe Ondatrini, is a medium-sized semiaquatic rodent native to North America, and is an introduced species in parts of Europe, Asia, and South America.he muskrat is found in wetlands over a wide range of climates and habitats. It has important effects on the ecology of wetlands and is a resource of food and fur for humans. The muskrat is the largest species in the subfamily Arvicolinae, which includes 142 other species of rodents, mostly voles and lemmings.
A muskrat builds a lodge by first heaping plant material and mud to form a mound. A burrow is then dug into the mound from below the water level, and a chamber is fashioned at the core of the mound. Later, the walls of the lodge are reinforced from the outside with more plants and mud.he muskrat is more widely distributed in North America than almost any other mammal and in this respect is a very successful species. It is found from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Gulf of Mexico in the south and from the Pacific Ocean in the west to the Atlantic Ocean in the east.
